German officials confirmed they had received a letter from the far-right terrorist who killed nine people in Hanau, last November in which he sought help from authorities in stopping the surveillance he believed he was under; they dismissed it at the time.

Angesichts der schrecklichen Ereignisse in #Hanau dürfen wir den Wahlkampf nicht einfach weiterführen. Wir haben das für heute geplante Wahlkampffinale abgesagt und rufen dazu auf, um 16:30 Uhr vor dem Rathaus der Opfer des Anschlags zu gedenken und gegen Rechts zu demonstrieren.

And hey @PeteButtigieg , try to not be so smug when you just got your ass kicked. You know how we form a winning coalition to beat Trump? With a true multi-racial coalition of working Americans: something @BernieSanders has proven he can do + you haven’t. Dude, show some humility

Don‘t forget how the CIA, the day before the vote, leaked that PUTIN was supporting Bernie & a cable network spent all of its time hysterically spreading that. That didn‘t seem to matter much either. It appears Americans aren‘t thinking much about the Kremlin as they vote:

For those upset about critique of establishment politics: There are D reps in SAFE blue seats who side w/ the NRA, are anti-LGBT+, and yet are protected because they advance the interests of big donors, Wall St, fossil fuels, etc. It’s not “wrong” to take that on and do better.

This isn’t about swing seats or pushing communities “too far left.”

It’s about accountability. Working families deserve so much better. And if we aren’t willing to admit where we can do better, then what is the point?

Our job is to serve the people, not the powerful.

Why Are Nevada Caucus Results Coming in So Slowly?

After Iowa’s caucus reporting system crashed with about 80 phone operators in Des Moines earlier this month, Nevada had 200 operators on site at the Rio Convention Center in Las Vegas. When reports came in about phone lines being jammed, the party texted its volunteers with the three new phone numbers — a move precinct leaders said made it far easier to reach an operator to report results.

“They did gave three different numbers and said if we couldn’t get through they would call us back,” said Ruben Murillo, a precinct chair at Coronado High School in Henderson.

Phil Sobutka, who spent more than 30 minutes dialing and redialing the party’s results hotline after his Henderson caucus finished, said the new number worked the first time he tried it.
